Abstract

Non-invasive brain and body injury and vital sign assessment monitors, as well as methods for providing Internet-enabled care and recovery services for related conditions and injuries are disclosed. The sensors may be enclosed in a head wrap known as a “skull cap”, or they may be worn on other parts of the body such as the wrist or ankle. The present invention relates to brain and body assessment monitors, and relates to detection of brain trauma, stroke, and other related injuries sustained during physical activity. The invention also covers providing Internet enabled healthcare provider care associated with such injuries as a consolidated system. The biometric sensor arrays can be used as part of an Internet of Things system that may utilize a blockchain or distributed ledger technology for storage of sensor data.

Description

[0001]Businesses that lag behind the technology curve may never be able to bridge the gap. As a general example, Airborne Express used to be one of the top three overnight shipping companies, competing directly with UPS and FedEx. However, they did not see technology as a strategic enabler and failed to keep pace with their key competitors. Eventually, the chasm was so great that they were no longer able to compete on service or price and had to sell the company.[0002]IoT has the potential of being the most disruptive and transformative technology to affect both IT and business in years. The IoT revolution creates unprecedented opportunities for businesses to provide enhanced customer experiences, build new customer communities, create a new generation of products, provide advertising that is totally relevant to the targeted audience, improve operations and reduce costs. Today's customers of digital devices expect smarter, connected and technologically advanced systems, and the comp...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0004]The American cruise ship company Royal Caribbean used IoT to reduce costs, increase revenue and improve workflows. By integrating sensors and their onboard point-of-sale systems, tablets, signage, TV, photo gallery and ticketing systems—then harnessing the resulting “ocean” of data—they now have a better understanding of their guests' needs and can tailor and personalize guest experiences. They have also been able to streamline the food temperature inspection process and cut the temperature check times by 60%. Royal Caribbean now has an intelligent system that captures and makes sense of data flowing across systems at every level of the ship.

Problems solved by technology

IoT is also affecting our global food supply.
